England V Australia - 2nd Test -- Australia wins last session thriller by 6 wickets!

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

At least Ponting will have one less inning to break Yousuf's record. He has 4 more innings to play now.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

WOW Hoggard sure got the best of Aussies...
(where is the ball tempering allegation now!?)

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Eng lose 3 wickets in 3 continuous overs from Warne!!! 73/4
One was run out.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

THE Best captain got out on 2 runs, leaving his team 77/5 :cb:

Eng about to lose the match!!!

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

94/6
Jones gone too

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

^ This is what this Australian team has been about atleast since 1999. You can never be safe against them. You have to do well as a team for 15 out of 15 sessions to match them in a test match.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

97/7

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Lee is reverse swinging, umpire check the ball. :p

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Salaam bhaio!

Does anyone have a working link?

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

8/105
Hoggard bowled on a googly

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

113-8, a lead of 152

If England do go on to lose this test as seems likely, their first innings score of 551-6d will be the highest first innings total by any losing team in a test match

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

119-9, a lead of 157, Harmison gone LBW to McGrath, a bad decision apparently by Koertzen

Let's be fair. England have had the best of the first four days and one bad session is all it took Australia to wrest back the initiative.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

119/9
bad decision. ball was too high but Harmison given LBW

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

England bowled out for 129. They were 69-1 at one stage! Australia need 168 to win in 36 overs at 4.67 RPO. That's gettable IMO.

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

this will be a great session though if england attack!, they can peg australia, always should be optimistic even though aus looks like they will win easily

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Only England can turn a winning (or draw) game situation into a loosing game

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

^ ditto

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Holy cow! Australias actually going for it! :eek: Need 120 something in 26 somethin overs. ODI mode ON!

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Australia RR 5.2

RRR to win is 4.5

Re: England V Australia - 2nd Test match

Flintoff must now be thinking about his first innings declaration at 551-6. England could have batted Australia out of the game. Another 50 runs or so would have used up more time and Australia, even given their remarkable bowling performance today, would not have been in this position to win. But it's always easy to be wise in retrospect.
